Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve read Bea’s books and want to learn the Enneagram through her approach. How do I do that?
All of Bea’s live courses, including those taught as part of the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, are listed in her calendar. Bea’s online, self-paced courses are available to browse here.
How do I get certified to teach or use the Enneagram?
Bea’s Enneagram school, the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, offers a Professional Certification program for coaches, therapists, business professionals, teachers, and more. No matter the work you do, we have a firm belief that the Enneagram can benefit what you do. If you want to learn the most comprehensive and rigorous approach to the Enneagram, we would love to have you.
Does Bea offer therapy or couple’s counseling?
Due to Bea’s schedule limitations, she is unable to take long-term clients for counseling. However, she does try to find time in her calendar for those who would like to have to have a couple of sessions with her. You can book a session with her directly here. We also know therapists who know the Enneagram well and whose contact information we can pass along.
If I hire The Chestnut Group to work with my team or organization, can I ensure that Bea is the facilitator?
The Chestnut Group works with a group of expert Enneagram coaches and professionals. If your organization prefers to work with Bea as your facilitator, we are able to arrange that, noting that she has obligations booked weeks in advance. Just let us know your preference when you inquire.
How do I find a therapist or coach who uses Bea’s approach to the Enneagram in their practice?
A good place to start is our CP Enneagram Academy Certified Professionals list. There, you will find the bios and contact information for everyone who has been directly taught and certified by Bea and Uranio. If you don’t find what you are looking for there, just reach out to us, and we are happy to provide the names of others we know who use the Enneagram in practice.
I would like Bea to be a guest on my podcast or other media program. How can I book her?
Thank you for your interest! Please fill out our media inquiry form and we will get back to you shortly.
Does Bea always teach with a partner?
Bea teaches individually as well as in partnership with her teaching and business partner, Uranio Paes at the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy. Uranio is a global Enneagram expert who Bea met many years ago on the board of the International Enneagram Association. Bea and Uranio are both thought leaders in the field, have co-authored a book together (coming Fall 2021), and continue to produce the most cutting edge Enneagram theory together. Since The Academy has grown so much over the past years, the majority of Bea and Uranio’s courses are taught together.
